It is Paris, 1937 and young Andras Levi has just arrived from Hungary on scholarship to study architecture. "The buildings he designed would be the ships on which human beings would sail toward the horizons the twentieth century. Then off into the new millennium." Andras falls in love with a Hungarian ex-patriate, Klara, a dance teacher with secrets and a difficult teenage daughter, and a mother and brother back in Hungary. When Andras's student visa is not renewed, he and Klara return to Hungary. This is a heart-warming story of the atrocities visited upon the Hungarian Jews during and after World War II and their nobility and self-sacrifice in meeting this horrific challenge.
